About

My Tours runs out of a storefront in Faro, and with one five-star review, there's not much track record to lean on yet. What's here: a local operator offering guided experiences around the Algarve capital and nearby coast. The perfect rating suggests someone had a good day, but a single data point doesn't tell you much about consistency, group size, or what they actually do well. Faro gets less attention than the beach towns west of it, which can work in your favor if you want to skip the Albufeira crowds. The old town, the Ria Formosa lagoon, and the barrier islands are all worth time. Whether My Tours is the right fit depends on what they're running when you're there and how their offerings compare to more established operators with deeper review histories. If you book, confirm details directly — schedule, meeting point, what's included — and decide if the newness feels like discovery or risk.

Algarve By Segway

Algarve By Segway runs tours out of Jardim Manuel Bivar in Faro, and the 5/5 rating across 924 reviews puts it near the top of what people actually book. The format is straightforward: electric Segways through the old town, around the marina, and sometimes out to Ria Formosa depending on the route. Guides tend to be local, which matters when you're rolling past buildings that all look the same until someone explains what you're looking at. The volume of reviews suggests consistent operation, and the perfect rating holds because the company runs tight groups and doesn't oversell time slots. Most tours are under two hours, which is about right before your feet start complaining on the platform. If you've never been on a Segway, they do a practice loop first—it takes about three minutes to feel stable. Faro isn't hilly, so it's easier than it would be up in Sintra or Lisbon's Alfama.

Yellow Cab TT Tours

Yellow Cab TT Tours runs half-day loops around Lisbon in vintage yellow cabs—actual refurbished taxis that seat four. The 5/5 average across 3,500+ reviews suggests they've sorted out the basics: drivers who can talk, routes that don't drag, and timing that respects the rest of your day. Four hours means you're hitting the postcard stops—Belém, Alfama, the overlooks—without grinding through a full-day itinerary. The format works if you want someone else handling the hills and the parking. It's outdoor in the sense that you're stopping to walk around, not just staring through glass, but you're in a car for most of it. Intensity is low; this isn't a walking tour. Price sits at $75, which is middle ground for a private-ish setup—you're sharing the cab unless you book it out. Operates directly, so you book through them. Based on Avenida da Liberdade, which means pickups skew central. If you're short on time and long on jet lag, it does the job.

Detours

Detours runs walking tours in Porto, and the 5/5 rating across nearly 3,000 reviews puts it at the top of the city's tour operators. That's partly the guides—local, opinionated, good at reading a group—and partly the format, which skips the megaphone routine in favor of small groups and actual conversation. The routes cover the obvious landmarks but bend toward back-street context: why the tiles matter, what happened to the old Jewish quarter, how the port trade actually worked. Most tours run two to three hours, and they don't upsell lunch stops or souvenir detours. Book ahead if you're visiting in summer or around a holiday weekend—spots fill. They also offer food-focused and day-trip variants if the standard historical walk feels too broad. It's a solid first move if you're new to Porto and want someone to explain what you're looking at.
